Everything in my smithy is mobile, because my garage serves several purposes. (Click thumbnails to enlarge) |
| My MMG (Mighty Mouse Grinder) grinder. It's a poor mans ripoff of Rob Frink's KMG (Knife Makers Grinder) grinder. The platen and all wheels were purchased from Rob. |
| My 25 Ton press. I used components suggested by Indian George. Of course like everything else in my shop, it's mobile. |
| Here you see my forges. The vertical forge is used for long blades (over 16") and it is similar to the Don Fogg style (seen here without blower). The horizontal forge design, (operating) is "a la Indian George" |
| Here is my 100 lb Peter Wright Anvil and my 4" leg vise. Both anvil base and vise stand were made using scrap steel from a job site. Man I love free steel |
I also have a 130 lb Peter Wright,
shown here with several Hardy tools
that I built. A week after I bought the
100 #, my brother-in-law, Phil, found
this one and about 6 months later he
gave it to me, great brother-in-law.

| From the left you see a bick tool, a 3" surface, a fuller, and a hot cutter. |
| This is what my shop/smithy/garage looks like when the smithing tools are put away for the night. |
